Awesome Again Firster Up Late at Laurel

8th-LRL, $40,000, Msw, 9-18, 2yo, 1m, 1:40.76, ft.
+TOO AWESOME (c, 2, Awesome Again–Awesome Ashley {MSW, $303,260}, by Unbridled's Song) came with a determined closing kick to get up and graduate on debut at Laurel. Off as the 7-2 third choice, the homebred settled second-last as favored Good Boy Lucas (Creative Cause) hooked up with Cats Serenade (Overdriven) through strong splits of :23.71 and :47.88. Too Awesome began to advance along the inside on the turn, but appeared to have too much to do until the favorite, who'd won the pace battle, started to get leg-weary in the final furlong. Continuing to grind away to that one's inside, the dark bay surged by in the final 100 yards to win going away by two lengths. The winner's dam was a three-time stakes winner, while second dam, Queens Court Queen (Lyphard), was a MGISW. Awesome Ashley is the dam of a yearling colt by Scat Daddy, a weanling filly by Uncle Mo and was bred back to that leading sire. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $22,800.
